Quenton Bagley, 82, of Salem, died from natural causes Sunday, January 8, 2017 surrounded by his family. He was born July 30, 1934 in Salem, Idaho, to Lorenzo and Ethel Bagley, the 9th of 11 children.

He attended school in Sugar Salem and graduated from Sugar Salem High School in 1953.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After high school he served a mission to the Eastern States Mission.

A month after returning home he met his eternal companion, Norma Jean Hawkes on a blind date. They were married August 1, 1958 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. To this union were born three children: David Lorenzo, Evelyn Kay and Kris.

Quenton worked hard to support his family. He ran his farm and milked his cows all while working a full time job at Basic American Foods. After retiring from Basic American Foods in 2000, he continued to farm until 2015.
